Starting nursery with Cal

A bright, reassuring story that gives children a character and visual world for talking about their first nursery experience.

Prepare through story.

Children can meet Cal before the routine happens, see a first-day adventure, and talk with an adult about excitement, uncertainty, new people and what happens next.

  • Short early-years wording
  • Strong visual sequence
  • Familiar Cal character
  • Conversation prompts for families
